Speaker Johnson is furious after investigators exposed that Obamacare sent $94 million to dead people

Speaker Johnson is absolutely furious after investigators exposed that Obamacare sent ninety four million dollars to dead people and allowed tens of thousands of duplicate Social Security numbers to be used for coverage. This system is a fraud machine and it has to be destroyed.

A recent Government Accountability Office (GAO) report found that $94 million in Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies (Obamacare) were associated with Social Security numbers belonging to people who were deceased in 2023. This was part of a larger finding about fraud vulnerabilities in the ACA marketplace.

Key details from the report include: Deceased Individuals: A total of 26,000 unique Social Security numbers (SSNs) associated with deceased individuals were used to obtain coverage and the related advanced premium tax credits (APTCs) in 2023.

Potential for Fraud: A majority of these cases involved names or birthdays that did not match the deceased person, suggesting potential synthetic identity fraud, where real SSNs are combined with fake information.

Vulnerability: GAO investigators were able to enroll fake applicants into the system with minimal scrutiny and without providing proper documentation, highlighting weaknesses in the verification process.

Ongoing Issue: The findings for 2023 and 2024 indicate a pattern of vulnerabilities, with unauthorized changes made by insurance agents and brokers also being a significant issue.

The GAO report's findings have been a point of focus in recent congressional debates regarding the extension and reform of the ACA subsidies
